something that happened under george w. bush's administration. he sprung into action with the american recovery in reinvestment act. so what's changed from when he was first elected, rev, to the second term? i would argue that very clearly it is that the gop took control of the house. and they made it their mission to as senator mitch mcconnell said to make him a one-term president. misch mcconnell was on board with that and to that end has filibustered most of his nominees. and to alex's point, thank goodness for the reform change. we can expect there will be people in high places that are critical to ensure that his agenda is actually implemented. we'll have to see those changes happen. it's definitely premature. i think there's a lot that can be done. he's tried to enact several things relative to comprehensive immigration reform, the american jobs act, all of those things that he's tried that they have single handedly blocked and the american people have been kind of bamboozled because the republicans have been successful in the narrative tha

that was 2006 when george w. bush was president. congress held 21 hearings over ten months of debate. they took in 15,000 pages of evidence on whether this was still needed. and after all of that, they voted nearly unanimously to keep doing it this way for another 25 years. in the senate it actually was unanimous. it was a 98-0 vote in the senate. well, today supreme court justice antonin scalia asserted in court that those 98 senators did not actually want to vote for the voting rights act. he says they didn't actually mean to vote that way, and that we should not see their votes for the voting rights act as votes for the voting rights act. he said that the 98-0 vote in the senate was actually just a sign that people see voting as some kind of racial entitlement now. that was the phrase that he used, racial entitlement. and yes, people in the courtroom gasped when he said it. and it seemed like he likes it when that happens. justice scalia said that his concern was, quote, that this is not the kind of question you can leave to cong
